• Reaction to Rush

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Thursday, February 18, 2021 00:10:52
    Hello Everybody,

    Reaction to the news about Rush Limbaugh has been swift.
    Especially from those who did not agree with his views.
    Here is one of the nicer things a blogger by the name of
    LittleGirl had to write about him -

    Happy Dance!

    That mf racist Piece of shit has finally been silenced. His hate
    speech is fucking dead!

    I blame him for all of the hate and racism and how it Ruined our
    Democracy! I’ll never forgive him for how he screwed our Democracy
    and split many families in the process. Mine included.

    My surviving siblings have been tainted by his rhetoric for 3 freaking
    decades. Their minds are poisoned forever against liberals nationwide.
    We should all be raising a glass that that mf man is DEAD! Rest in Hell
    Rush. I hate you.

    I do not apologize for my post. I will not. The first time I heard
    that rat bastard in ‘86, I knew he would destroy our country. Trump
    is a product of that hate speech. I hope 45 is next!

    Shakes fist

    This was one of the nicer rants I found. There are plenty more
    harsher ones that are around, and very easy to find. The man was
    a provocateur extroardinaire, that's for sure. And to think he
    did it almost every day, for decades, in live performances
    broadcast to a worldwide audience.

    I wonder where he will be buried? Will there be a shrine in
    his honor, where folks can visit and pay homage to his greatness?

    Maybe I could set up a stand and sell coffee, and tea, and beer,
    and give each person asparagus to munch on when the visit the grave
    site. That way, by the time they get there, they will puke their
    guts out and remember the experience forever.

    These people got Rush mixed up with their feelings for Trump.

    Rush was a radio personality. To me, it was all schtick.
    But to others, they believed every word he said as if it
    was all gospel truth. To some, they hated his guts and
    got very emotional about what he said on air. I posted one
    of the "nicer" things written about Rush after he kicked
    the bucket. Just imagine what others wrote ...

    Getting mad about something some radio personality said is ridiculous.

    Howard Stern says idiotic things too - that's why I stopped listening to him like 20 years ago.

    Hello Aaron,

    Rush was a radio personality. To me, it was all schtick.
    But to others, they believed every word he said as if it

    Getting mad about something some radio personality said is ridiculous.

    Tim Russet thought so. Watched a live interview on MSNBC years
    ago between him and Limbaugh. Half an hour. First ten minutes was
    basic Q&A. Next twenty minutes Russet just let Limbaugh have his
    say without questioning anything.

    Rush Limbaugh had claimed he had lost his hearing. All of his
    hearing. He also had claimed he got a cochlear implant. And could
    now hear perfectly, as if he had never lost any hearing at all.
    And was also planning to have a second cochlear implant so that
    he could hear with both ears rather than just one.

    Rush's doctor refused to be interviewed. Would not make any
    comments concerning Rush's claims. Deaf people were outside the
    hotel where Rush was being interviewed, saying Rush's claims
    were total nonsense.

    I think Rush made it all up. It is possible he lost his hearing,
    or at least a good bit of it, due to his addiction to painkillers.
    But getting a cochlear implant, and being to hear perfectly within
    two weeks, is hogwash.

    Some things you just have to take with a grain of salt. Even
    a huge grain of salt.

    Howard Stern says idiotic things too - that's why I stopped listening to him
    like 20 years ago.

    Stern put a lot of time and research into what he does. He knows
    his subject, and presents his material in a light that is very
    entertaining. To his audience. Might not appeal to everyone, but
    there are those who really enjoyed his show.

    Rush didn't care. He just said whatever entered his head.

    They all suck though, don't they? (Radio personalities.)

    There are none that I am a fan of.
